Country Lane Suite Framed Art

When I ask customers if they’ve been stamping outside of our classes, many respond that they aren’t creative.  I always respond that we are all creative in our own way but when you need a little help getting started we all CASE projects — case = copy and share everything.  That’s right, take a project you’ve already made and make it again but use different colors, different paper, even a different stamp set and see what a difference it makes.

Today’s project is exactly that — a CASED project.  A couple of weeks ago I shared a project we did at our Stampin’ Sisters Holiday Hoopla.  It was a framed art piece featuring the Country Home stamp set in a farmhouse style – soft and subtle was the theme here.

At my Country Lane Suite class we were making a framed art project.  I didn’t want to copy this project as some guests were at both events, however I love the layout of this frame, so I CASED it.  I changed all of the colors and designer paper but I kept the Country Home stamp set, Galvanized Metallic Paper, Chicken Wire, Clips and Buttons.  It ended in a project that looks the same yet completely different.  Everyone loved the colors in this project (I kept it out of the frame so I could take a picture without the glare from the glass).

I think it turned out great, I can’t wait to hang it up.  How would you like to make this project yourself?
You can — just place an order of $50 and I’ll mail you a kit with all the pieces and pictures of the panels up close.
You will need to provide the Country Home Stamp Set, Memento Ink, Blackberry Bliss stamp pad and Stampin’ Blend Markers — Light & Dark Smoky Slate, Light & Dark Old Olive, Light & Dark Blackberry Bliss, Light & Dark Soft Suede and the shadow box frame (8″ x 10″).

Country Lane Tin Tile Card

I hope you enjoyed yesterday’s Country Lane Suite cards.  I have one more card to share and then I want to show you the framed art we did.

Here’s the third card everyone made at class.  I saw this layout online (I tried to find it again to give credit but can’t find it — sorry).  The designer paper is the main feature on the card plus the fun little tin tile stamp down the right side.

The card base is Mint Macaron with Early Espresso and one of the gorgeous Country Lane designer papers.  The inside of the card has a piece of Whisper White cardstock that I stamped the tiles with Soft Suede ink.  I add the Happy Harvest Blessings to the center of the card.  I can’t wait to send this card out.

Country Lane Suite is SO FUN!!!

Oh My Goodness — what a fun suite the Country Lane is.  I told you yesterday the products are amazing and they definitely are.  Last night was my Suite Surprise class which featured the Country Lane suite.

We made three cards that showcased the wonderful designer paper.  I wanted to keep the cards simple with just a greeting or phrase and I think this worked great.

I would never have guessed that Mint Macaron and Cajun Craze coordinated but look at how pretty this is.  The greeting is very simple and meaningful.  The greeting is layered over Early Espresso and Mint Macaron cardstock which has a layer of Gold Metallic Edge Ribbon that I colored using the Dark Cajun Craze Stampin’ Blend.  If you aren’t using Stampin’ Blends yet, you are missing out.

Here’s another pretty card – great color combo — Blackberry Bliss and Old Olive.  I turned the Chicken Wire Embellishment over and used the white side for this card.

Come back tomorrow — I’ll share one more card and the framed art that we did.
